When Ashland police officers arrived at the home on 363 Covert Court Tuesday morning they found the woman and Grate. According to authorities, while processing the scene they found the bodies of two women. One of those bodies has been identified as Stacey Stanley, 43. Her family reported her missing on Sept. 8.

Police said Grate then lead them to an abandoned home on Park Avenue East in Mansfield, about 11 miles away. The abandoned home had been gutted from a fire back in June. Richland County Sheriff Steve Sheldon said the suspect was homeless and had been living in the house.

Within five minutes of being on the property the suspect walked up to the edge of the woods and pointed. Sheriff Sheldon said investigators walked about 60 feet into the woods and found a woman’s body.
